The report highlights the importance of strict clinico-histological correlations when skin biopsies are performed in diagnostic doubt in systemic lupus erythematosus. Furthermore, PUVA is never indicated in autoimmune conditions involving photosensitivity, due to high potential for internal and cutaneous aggravation of the disease, as the authors observed in this case.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease of high clinical and molecular heterogeneity, and a relapsing-remitting pattern. The disease is currently without cure and more prevalent in women. B cell tolerance and production of autoantibodies are critical mechanisms that drive SLE pathophysiology.

Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous disease with multiple clinical manifestations, which causes a significant deterioration in the quality of life (QoL). The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Quality of Life Questionnaire (L-QoL) is a lupus-specific measure used to determine the burden of the disease and it applies the need-based model of QoL. Our aim was to produce the first successfully validated foreign language version of the questionnaire.

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) may present as a clinically heterogeneous group of lupus-specific skin lesions that have common histopathological findings. Determination of the immunopathological sequence of events in this group of disorders has been challenging for dermatologists and immunologists but is vital for therapeutic targeting. We review animal models in which different aspects of immune alteration in CLE have been addressed.
